Third Positionism was literally created by a bunch of fascists and Nazis after World War II since that particular extravaganza made it really no bueno to be an open fascist or Nazi so they had to label themselves as something else as a smokescreen. The third position is still predominantly and primarily made up of various strains of fascist, neo-Nazi and even white and ethno nationalist. If you’re a third positionist then you are not in good company.
While that may be true, I don't follow fascist, neo-Nazi, or racial supremacist ideals with any capacity. Sure, I am willing to help them out because we share the common enemy of communism/leftism, and that we share some similar social and economic goals, but that doesn't instantly make me one. I support the democratic system for the most part. The third positionism comes in for me in economics mostly, since I take from both sides of the spectrum (A decent portion more from capitalism than socialism though.) Fascists of today, that I ever talk to, typically endorse economic third positionism, and to that I do partake of, but I do not endorse the political side of fascism, specifically, the non-democratic way of government.
Something that was mentioned earlier was that yeah, I associate with some fascists, but they don't brand themselves as third positionist, they brand themselves as fascists and they are proud of it. It doesn't look like they are making any smoke screens to me.
